[And Leo is about to do another thing he has never done before.
Because, after all, this is the first time he has ever shown himself this vulnerable to Elliot. There have been a few times he has slipped in his determination to always keep himself together, because that's what he does, so that Elliot especially doesn't have to carry anything...
But now, with all of that already torn down because he can't stop the tears from running or his voice from cracking, he turns, just enough so he can practically fall forward and bury his face in Elliot's shirt, somewhere right below his collarbone.]
